Unfortunately you can't go all the way up on the fire tower, but you can go up to the first "floor"!

Nice little wooden bridge in the Veluwezoom mtb route. It gives a nice view, but also makes for a nice little challenge, as there are little stairs to conquer when entering and leaving the bridge. Good luck ;)

Heel mooi gravelrondje over de Veluwezoom van @erwinsikkens_com (laatste stukje G50 afgesneden). Route lag er ondanks natte weer goed bij.

Beautiful gravel ride with very varied surfaces. It had rained a lot again, so there were quite a few puddles of water on the route, but everything was still quite passable. You take quite a few of the MTB routes, but the difficult single tracks have been removed for the gravel bike
